Sydänliiton ravitsemuksen as.tuntijatyöryhmän kokouksessa. Keskusteltiin mm. suolasta, jonka merkitystä riskinä pitäisi korostaa enemmän.

Of course the quickest way to get too much salt and have your insulin raised too much by carbohydrate is to eat processed food. Avoid that, and it’s hard to overload on sodium just from occasional salty foods like feta, salted butter, and bacon. Use table salt (preferably iodised if you don’t eat a lot of seafood ) to taste. Have your blood pressure checked at the end of every doctor’s visit (seeing a doctor has been proven to raise your blood pressure, so only have it read once you’ve been seated for a while and have relaxed, if you can). If your blood pressure is too high, and you’re not eating heaps of salty or processed food, a LCHF diet may be a safer (and more effective) way to manage it than trying to cut salt as low as you can.

Question: What do you call 500 dietitians lying at the bottom of the ocean?
Answer: A good start.

71% rasvaa? Todella ällöttävä ruokavalio!

DGAC:
-Based a number of recommendations, including the new vegetarian “Dietary Pattern”, on inconclusive evidence.
-Stated that the evidence of a link between saturated fats and heart disease was “strong” but the evidence cited did not clearly support this;
-Recommended reducing red and processed meats yet did not conduct an analysis of the scientific literature on this subject;
-Recommended reducing salt as much as possible, yet the most recent, authoritative review on this subject, by the Institute of Medicine study, which the DGAC itself cited, does not support this.

The BMJ plans to continue to provide a forum for debate on the science and politics of food; for example, we are collaborating with researchers from Tufts University in Massachusetts and the University of Cambridge on a series of articles examining the science and politics of food, which is due to be published next year.

Näille suomalaisille kävi nolosti! He olivat mukana vaatimassa, että BMJ-lehti vetäisi takaisin amerikkalaisen toimittajan Nina Teicholzin kirjoituksen, jossa hän osoitti, etteivät nykyiset rasvakammoiset ravitsemussuositukset perustu tieteeseen. Ravitsemuseliitti (yli 180 ravitsemustieteilijää ja lääkäriä), mukana alla mainitut suomalaiset, raivostui kirjoituksesta, mutta BMJ piti pintansa eikä vetänyt kirjoitusta pois, koska katsoi Teicholzin olleen oikeassa.
